<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 10148196, member: 8267&quot;]Thinking about this some more - may we see the sides with the cross arm removed?</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the back more closely, it looks like the cross arm has the same patina as the main block. If it was a later modification, it seems it would look different. Also, if the cross arm is one piece that slides out (sorry, sometimes I rush through the initial description), it also means the channel for it would be a bit of fine woodworking and perhaps a bit of overkill for a conversion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a way to get the tool folks&#039; eyes on this? We &quot;tribal&quot; people may be looking at it through the wrong lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, can you tell if the inlays might be or ivory rather than shell?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
